I want to know how to make a jutsu for my Naruto sidescroller.
Start learning the language and stop asking ridiculously vague questions.
Ugh you need to learn how to use Datums... Eventhough it's not the only way but if you knew you wouldn't be asking these questions.
well im not a expert like you guys.
You're trying to start off big, which means you are going to fall flat on your face, so to speak. Click the link I posted previously and work through it, starting off small and learning the language one step at a time. Once you know the fundamentals, you will be able to piece things together and create larger projects.

We all had to start from the beginning.
well to make you happy im reading the whole DM guide then since you said im going to fail.

He didn't say you were going to fail... You're rushing into something and you will fail because you have no idea what you're doing.

Learn the basics experiment...

Really? At least wait for your e-balls to drop before you have a e-peen contest.

This is a very unnecessary thread. NarutoHeroMMaster, if you want to make a game, you have to learn how. This isn't something you can just make in a day. Learn the language and make some small projects and build your way up.

Gokussj99...I don't really have anything to say to you, but I am shaking my e-head at you.
Naruto, I've seen many posts by you. I'll redo my Newbie tutorial that I once posted on Teka123's Forum... Which apparently lost in the void of BYONDs nonexistant player forums... Nevermind that..

Give me a day or two and I'll get a guide together so you won't have to keep asking simple questions. Under one condition. Ditch Naruto and start a fresh brand new game thatis YOUR own idea. Meaning no using rips, sources, or libraries.

Definitions:
Rips - Taking an already made game, renaming it, claiming it as yours, and changing a few codes and pictures to make it seem like it is yours.
Sources - Same as rip. But you just have the game but don't change anything and you don't claim it as yours. You just fix bugs and etc and add new features.
Libraries - It's a chunk of code that someone puts together to help people with what they need. (i.e. Teleport library or Hello World Library.)

So, do we have a deal? No anime games and no rips. Make your own game with your own ideas from what I teach you?

I feel that this will help the new coders coming in who just get scared of reading that DM Guide. I know I did for sure not read that guide. Never have. Yet, for some reason I know how to code extensively.. Since 2007. O.o.. All because of a Hello World..

This is not what a library is, both of those are terrible examples and the use of libraries should be encouraged rather than not.

A library is a functioning section of code that does a specific job and can be applied to any project with little to no effort - for examples, look at Forum_account's many libraries. Hello World is a simple program and shouldn't even be called a Demo, and it might be a stretch to call a "teleport" function a demo as well.

I personally use Forum_account's Keyboard library in nearly all of my projects.

The main thing you must remember is that if you don't understand what the code is doing, you shouldn't use it. It's a good rule of thumb to follow, because libraries should be used for functions that you can create, but would simply be re-inventing the wheel to do so. Use the resources available to you to save time.
Libraries shouldn't be used for beginners and I was trying not to use the word function since he didn't even know that C:// is on his computer and not the internet. I tried dumbing it down for him. A beginner looking at complex libraries will just get them confused and discouraged. If it's a simple library.. And I mean "simple" then sure. Go for it. So long as you can fiddle with it and get some experience off of it. I tried Forum Accounts keyboard library once though. It worked nice but conflicted with some of my codes causing delays in buttons and when I fixed that it caused other problems. Running it separately it is nice. I just didn't feel like going through the effort of changing all of it. Instead it inspired me to make my own code resembling his library to be attuned to my pixelmovement settings and compact. So, sometimes it's best not to use a library but at the same time it can spark an idea.

I'll take you up on that Xirre. I have study demos and sources.
I have read some of the DM book(up to 4.7). I think its making me bored since I started studying sources first. It maybe because I do have some programing experience. I feel like I need that extra help so i can branch out and start making my own project. Ideas for me are unlimited. Just gotta finish learning the language.
